Successful stem cell differentiation requires DNA compaction, study finds
2012-05-12
New research findings show that embryonic stem cells unable to fully compact the DNA inside them cannot complete their primary task: differentiation into specific cell types that give rise to the various types of tissues and structures in the body.
Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University found that chromatin compaction is required for proper embryonic stem cell differentiation to occur. Chromatin, which is composed of histone proteins and DNA, packages DNA into a smaller volume so that it fits inside a cell.

Tennessee Child Support Case Shows Consequences of Legal Parentage
Sometimes courts need to step in to determine paternity when there is a dispute. However, courts do not always get it right when establishing paternity, which causes problems for all involved. A recent Tennessee appellate court ruling shows the consequences of a court incorrectly declaring a father to be a child's legal parent.

DUI Courts in Colorado Offer Alternative to Prison
In 2009, select counties in Colorado, including Larimer County, began planning for participation in a start-up program aimed at reassessing the way the criminal justice system deals with repeat DUI offenders. The state established the first DUI courts as an alternative to the cycle of incarceration and release for those who have a long history of drunk driving charges. The courts have strict requirements to keep participants engaged, and not everyone qualifies to be a part of the program.

New screening technique yields elusive compounds to block immune-regulating enzyme
2012-05-12
LA JOLLA, CA – May 10, 2012 ¬– Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute have found the first chemical compounds that act to block an enzyme that has been linked to inflammatory conditions such as asthma and arthritis, as well as some inflammation-promoted cancers.
The new study, published recently by the journal ACS Chemical Biology, describes new compounds that inhibit an important enzyme called PRMT1 (protein arginine methyltransferase 1). The new inhibitors will be useful to scientists who study PRMT1-related biological pathways in cells and who are developing ...

Oil Boom in South Texas May Bring More Truck Accidents Caused by Fatigue
The Eagle Ford oil boom in South Texas is creating economic growth in the area, but it is also creating growth of another sort. The oil boom has led to more commercial truck traffic to South Texas. The additional truck traffic has brought more tired truck drivers to the area, and has also damaged and narrowed area roads. The greater number of tired truck drivers and deteriorating roads create a dangerous driving environment conducive to car and truck accidents.
Many workers in South Texas face ...

Inducing labor around due date boosts baby survival rates
2012-05-12
Babies born when labour is induced around their due date may have better survival rates than those whose birth is not induced, a study suggests.
Researchers found that stillbirths and new born baby deaths were less likely to occur when labour was induced at 40 weeks compared to births where the pregnancy was allowed to continue.
Women whose labour was artificially triggered at 40 weeks were also less likely to need a Caesarean section than those who waited to go into labour.
The study from the University of Edinburgh looked at elective inductions – those carried out ...

2012-05-12
Differences in regional hospital readmission rates for heart failure are more closely tied to the availability of care and socioeconomics than to hospital performance or patients' degree of illness, according to research presented at the American Heart Association's Quality of Care & Outcomes Research Scientific Sessions 2012.
U.S. regional readmission rates for heart failure vary widely ― from 10 percent to 32 percent ― researchers found. Communities with higher rates were likely to have more physicians and hospital beds and their populations were likely to ...
